1 Claim.

This invention relates to a soap and water mixer, and particularly to a,soap and water mixer of the type disclosed in a parent application filedby me under date of February 26, 1940, Serial No. 320,980, now maturedinto Patent No. 2,239,021, of April 22, 1941, and entitled Soap andwater mixers.

The subject matter of the present application was divided out of myabove identified application for patent, and Letters Patent, abovenoted, and the invention, together with the primary object thereof,namely the provision of a device of this character which may be readilyconnected into a flow of water, whereby the water may contact soap andbecome soapy so that the water leaving the device may be utilized forthe washing and cleaning of various articles, automobiles or the like,or may be employed for taking baths, will be best understood from astudy of the following description taken in connection with theaccompanying drawing wherein:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a soap and water mixerconstructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially on the line2-2 of Figure 1.

Referring more in detail to the drawing,-it will be seen that in theembodiment illustrated, there is provided a box-like construction 5,embodying sections 6 and 1 hingedly connected, as shown at 8.

The sections 6 and I are held in close relationship with respect to eachother by a spring clamp 9 pivoted on the section 1 and engaging with akeeper-like portion on the section 6.

The section 6 includes a water chamber l0, while the section 1 includesa water chamber II, and a compartment l2 for containing soap S.

The compartment l2 has ports I3 to permit the escape of water from thecompartment l2 into the water chamber ll of the section I.

The bottom wall of the section 6 is perforated, as shown at M, to allowthe water to enter the soap compartment l2.

The section 6 also includes a fitting l5 for connecting the section ontoa water supply conduit as suggested in the drawing.

The section 1 includes a discharge neck in the form of a fitting, asshown at l6 for connecting the section I to a water conduit as illustrated.

iii

From the above it will be seen that the water enters the chamber H) ofthe device, passes into the compartment l2 to contact the soap, and fromthe compartment l2 passes into the water chamber ll of the section 1 todischarge therefrom by way of the fitting l6.

It will be readily appreciated that a device of this kind can be readilyconnected into a hose line, wherein the hose line is provided at one endwith a washing device for the cleaning of automobiles and the like, sothat the water used by the washing device will contain a certain amountof soap to facilitate the thorough cleansing of the automobile, or likedevice.

Also, this embodiment of the invention is such that it may be readilyconnected into a supply pipe of a shower so that the device can beutilized for furnishing soapy water for the purpose of taking baths.

It is believed that the foregoing description, when taken in connectionwith the drawing, will fully set forth the construction and advantagesof this invention to those skilled in the art to which such a devicerelates, so that further detailed description will not be required;although in this connection it may be mentioned that the device can beused to advantage for sprinkling gardens and plants and when so used, achemical may be substituted for the soap in chamber 12.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is:

A soap and water mixer of the character described comprising a pair ofhinged casing sections, one of said sections being substantiallywedge-shaped in longitudinal section, a water inlet coupling arranged inthe large end of said section, one face of said last-named sectionadapted to be engaged by the other of said sections and provided with aplurality of openings, said second section being of substantiallyrectangular shape and corresponding in size to the perforated base ofthe first section, said second section provided with an inner spacedsoap chamber open at its top and provided with a plurality of waterpassage openings in its opposite ends, the said second sectionterminating in an enlarged tapered water outlet, hinge means connectingthe casing sections together, and latch means for retaining the sectionsin fixed relation to each other.

LUCIEN SIANO.
